Well, bye, everyone; at least for a while. Taking a break from Mastodon, not sure how long or if permanent.

Thanks for the memories.

@thomasfuchs if you fancy dropping me an invite I'll follow you there - otherwise it may be some time. Best of luck dude!

Logging into here feels like work and obligation. Bluesky feels fun and effortless.

It's like being incensed because people aren't coming to, or staying at the Homeowners Association meeting.

Bluesky's moderation policies are—charitably—naive. However, folks need to understand that people go where the fun is, not where the features are.

@philsherry @eric I've rarely used Twitter (or Facebook) for fun - it's more of an obsessive knowledge transfer thing - I want to know what the smart people are doing.

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@philsherry certainly lots of different use cases. Sure people don't stick around long where something is awkward or tedious. The amount of rage and misery on social media seems to contradict it being a pleasurable experience. The addictiveness of doomscrolling is not what I would consider fun. Thankfully because my Mastodon group is largely people connected to the tech industry it's mostly safe from the increasing stream of bad news I was getting on Twitter.

Failed to mention here that due to social pressure, entirely manifested by myself, I joined Bluesky. You can find me at “@darn.es”

@DavidDarnes I have not got access yet. Did you you set up your domain through an cname or text record or something - what is the process? I see some people using the default .bsky.social who I would ah e thought would ah e used domain names too, so just wondering what the process is.

Has anyone come across an example of an ‘All Gender Toilets' symbol done well? The choices seem to be either show 'everyone’ (Stick figure, stick figure in a dress, stick figure in wheelchair) or an oddly ‘half-skirted' person.

Tricky one to convey succintly, but maybe there's a solution out there. Maybe its time to depict a toilet? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-08-06/public-bathrooms-are-gender-battlegrounds-mostly-due-to-terrible-signage

@jonhicks washing hands is not the primary function of "the toilets" - I'd be happier with a symbol representing the toilet but understand the reasoning against it - that said - I don't think there can be more than a few fundamentally different toilet designs around the world.

Why not just use the poop emoji - we all recognise that one 💩

Some absolutely stunning data on this page. I’m enjoying the Conservative and UKIP losses the most.

@tanepiper does that work? I was just trying it and not getting anywhere until I moved the ::before

label:has(~ input:required)::before { content: '*'; }

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@tanepiper I wasn't sure if you had some other markup that it worked with (like input inside of label - but that didn't seem to work either)

In these modern days of web development a person could spend all their time learning and never doing - there is so much to learn, so many traps, and so many people ready to criticise in forceful condescending tones. It's a wonder anything gets made at all.

I think fediverse stuff is a bit weird. I think I'd prefer to think of everything as ActivityPub clients. I think i'd like one id that was me to be usable by any client, and if that client focuses on some features more than others then cool. I think "activities" like sharing a status, or photo should be individually subscribe-able - for example, I could be "Bob" on both Wicker and Pictigram - single sign-on - but Wicker prioritises showing my statuses and Pictigram my photos so the streams.

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

In reality I have different ids for both Mastodon and Pixelfed and whist I can sort of follow Pixelfed ids in Mastodon - it's just weird. Can I not have one social media id (one set of followers and followees) and one stream that is all my activities and different clients provide different windows of that stream - either publishing or subscribing.

@atomicpoet what is the USP for Calckey over Mastodon? What does it do the same and what does it fo differently? Any good comparison articles/threads you know of? @calckey

It is bad business to start your own protocol when there's an existing open standard.

It's like making a new brand of air.

Open standards are a commons. They're a gift. Some idealists and eggheads have already worked out the hard parts. You get that part of the stack 100% free.

Why in the world would you put any effort whatsoever into replicating the free part?

Work on the other parts. The parts people care about and pay for.

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@evan realistically is so that they can own it. If they own the protocol they can set the terms around people using it (like unrestricted license to reproduce, share or do whatever they like with the content sent via the protocol)… that'd be my guess.

I understand Bluesky is privately owned? (so I'm not sure how "decentralized" applies) but how does it make money?

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@tanepiper @heydon I'm interested in the protocol and concerned about privacy issues, as well as moderation. I don't have access, but I'm just casually following along with everyone else's comments.

I'm sceptical a lot these days.

I think/thought Mastodon was pretty cool but Hacyderm's policy on no fundraisers seemed to incite a short-lived LGBTQ civil war that piled-on Kris Nova for being a privileged member of the community. The mobilised mob mentality here gave me pretty bad vibes.

Our newly refurbished store is OPEN for business as usual in Cambridge, UK.

Come by and say hi!

We have stock of all boards and microcontrollers. One per customer buying restrictions still apply to all our boards to dissuade scalping.

A walk through our newly refurbished store. It’s very minimalist and clean with work stations to try out software and books displayed along the walls.

@Raspberry_Pi this is amazing, I love that you have a physical shop like this - I would totally come for a nosey if I lived close to Cambridge.

Good news! Mona will be a one-time purchase app, and will be available on App Store this Spring:

Mona Extra: full-feature access on 3 platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac), and supports family sharing. Mona users can upgrade from Essential to Extra for 7 USD.
If you have purchased Spring or Spring mini, Mona Extra will be just 9 USD.

@mattwilcox my opinion of Mona dropped, I've added to the "naughty list" of apps with Mammoth too (over their VC funding stuff) I'm still happily using Ivory

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@mattwilcox @ivory I haven't noticed many updates to Ivory for a while now. It might be that they are working a meaningful release, or that they are working on other things. I think they were working on search (at least that is what I took from a feature request I made a while back)
